Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an innovative design of an inverted-F antenna that increases bandwidth and efficiency to meet the requirements of a system frequency band. The antenna includes a microwave plate, a dielectric substrate, a radiating metal sheet, a ground surface, a shorting metal strip, and a feeding metal strip. The radiating metal sheet has multiple metal sheets and a slot for adjusting impedance matching. The ground surface has a gap portion to decrease capacitance rate and improve bandwidth. The antenna design achieves a broader band and a dual frequency antenna to meet the system bandwidth requirements.

Problems solved by technology

However, construction of the antenna can be very complicated for meeting the above requirements and needs.
However, the prior art suffered from several disadvantages.
Further, its construction is relatively complicated.
Furthermore, the surface current pathways are meandered, resulting in a narrowing of bandwidth (i.e., only suitable for dual-band applications).
Moreover, its adjustment is difficult in practice.

Abstract

An inverted-F antenna comprises a microwave plate, a dielectric substrate, a radiating metal sheet, a ground surface, a shorting metal strip, and a feeding metal strip. The radiating metal sheet comprises a connecting metal sheet, first, second, and third child radiating metal sheets, a matching metal sheet, a slot, a shorting point, and a feeding point. The first child radiating metal sheet is for forming a low frequency operating mode. The second child radiating metal sheet is for forming a high frequency operating mode. The third child radiating metal sheet is for adjusting operating frequency and bandwidth of the second operating mode. The slot, the shorting point, and the feeding point are for adjusting impedance matching. The grounding surface is for increasing the operating bandwidth of the low frequency operating mode. The shorting metal sheet and the feeding metal sheet are for grounding the antenna and signal transmission.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to an antenna, especially to an inverted-F antenna applied in wireless communication products.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]In recent years, wireless communication has known a rapid, spectacular development. Also, requirements for quality and performance of antenna mounted in a wireless communication device (e.g., cellular phone, PDA) are increased. In addition to the requirement of miniature antenna, multiple frequency band or ultra-wideband feature is also necessary for keeping up with the trend. Moreover, for aesthetic and practical purposes a miniature antenna is typically mounted within a wireless communication device (e.g., cellular phone). However, construction of the antenna can be very complicated for meeting the above requirements and needs. Thus, it is important to further improve the prior hidden antenna by fully taking advantage of the limited space in a wi...
